special manner. To mark this day, a weeklong health awareness program was

marked every year to celebrate the contributions to society and medical care
made by nurses around the world. The date was chosen as Florence
Nightingale's birth anniversary – to celebrate the 'lady with the lamp' who
nursed wounded soldiers during the Crimean War, and whose progressive ideas and
reforms influenced the nature of modern-day nursing.

the move and said that such programs are very helpful for the people,
especially for the rural area people.
